Did Joe Biden really deliver that speech live? Probably not

..CNN and MSNBC were gushing with relief that Joe Biden got through his acceptance speech without any glaring gaffes except the nonsensical final line, conservatives were gobsmacked by the sheer vacuousness of it.

>snip<

But was Joe’s speech broadcast to us live, and just as delivered? He was not in front of a live audience; he was behind a podium on a bare stage with all the flags and colorful background added digitally using the same technique – blue-screen - that TV weathermen use to stand in front of a weather map. He was clearly reading every word from the teleprompter. At least we know he can still read; he garbles some words but he appeared to read it competently. But did he read the whole speech from start to finish, 25 minutes without any of his (in)famous flubs? Not likely. Even with skilled presenters, it is standard practice with prerecorded speeches and interviews to piece together multiple takes, and trim out the mistakes, using an amazing editing tool that renders invisible all the edits removing pauses, umm’s, flubs, etc. from an interview or a speech, and to seamlessly piece together multiple takes of the speech.

The tool goes by various names depending on the film editing program: "Morph Cut" in Adobe’s Premiere Pro, “Flow,” in Apple’s Final Cut Pro X, and "Smooth Cut" in BlackMagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve.

Was this technique used to stitch together a seemingly-coherent acceptance speech? It’s difficult to believe it would not have been. It’s a near-certainty the speech was pieced together from numerous takes to edit out all his flubs – made even while he’s reading from a teleprompter. In short, Biden’s speech was most likely some elementary Hollywood magic - just as phony as his hair, his teeth and his “moderation.”

This is exactly what I had suspected.

A link to a description of how it works, in DaVinci Resolve, is at link.

Ping!

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Obvious. He can not speak for 10 minutes straight without errors.

[cba123]

He basically repeated his 2008 acceptance speech.

Which is why he remembered it.

Really. Short term memory goes first.

[Rurudyne]

Could have been an outright deep fake.

[tired&retired]

Obama was the same way. He could be an orator when reading. Otherwise he couldn’t speak.

[GnuThere]

I didn’t watch it, but I agree his blindingly white teeth are stupid.
Like glued-on Chiclets.

I posted , yesterday, slight changes in the hair over his ears (flat to bushier), throughout his speech.

It seems strange that styled hair could do that, within a 24 minute timespan, while speaking.

From the piece, “At least we know he can still read;“

Campaign slogan? Central theme?

[Nateman]

I’d be surprised if they did not use some editing software to stich together coherant pieces. Liars gonna lie. The whole damn party was built on a foundation of lies by slave masters for slave masters. Only the necks under thier yoke have changed.

I did some work for the son of an elderly couple with that condition

Neither one could remember what was said 30 seconds ago, but they had long detailed stories from 50-60 years ago

Biden ready to take charge of the nation:
“ONCE more into the SPEECH!”

[Jane Long]

BTTT!

[DoodleBob]

We had an exchange on this very topic yesterday. I noticed last night that the flags behind Biden didn't cast a shadow, further fueling my suspicion that this was a performance La Machine.

Having said that, American Thinker is noteworthy for having lousy fact-checking. I hope the source for the blue screen is right.

C’mon man! Like he would FAKE his presidential nomination speech?

Are you CRAZY?

That would be like believing a candidate for president would FAKE his birth certificate! C’mon man! /s

[Jane Long]

Interesting.
